hello dear friends
always inapplicable under any conditions
at all costs
let there be zdravstvuite in your bodies and the
light in your hearts
today it
turned out that it
seemed Breget
I’m honestly not very somehow
things were planned for all this, but so here it is,
life is screaming and we start from one of the
entrances to the old part of the city
behind me, all the figurative business card
has become an elegant elegy and for the
whole of Latvia, the coats of arms of
almost all the main cities of Latvia are depicted here,
very beautiful, this is all I would say on there is a
good level of printing, there is
something to look at, this effect was well
done about the normal level, here is something to
compare, we were able to visit many
places in
our ball, so it’s clearly
done well, but now we’ll move
on, there’s
one very famous object,
behave round with the side of the final
pyramid the roof is a powder tower
with its own history, Soviet times, there are
friends of some such direction, it’s
interesting now, too, a museum in the direction of
looking for a different
kind in general, everyone throughout the era, always and
what to remember, so you’ll come here,
you’ll like it,
well, let’s go special today, our
old league there, all of us today
it will be
pointless to go around and we need to periodically
make
short stops so
that, as
our great friend, a
friend of ours, said, in some way a guide to a special world
and Winnie the Pooh,
stop like so forward to new
interesting places,
they will be new for you and for me, these are the
places with which I something connected
old
let's go
[music]
here are friends
Riga city ancient
chronicle it seems to
have been founded in 1201 during this time a lot of
things happened here and
naturally the city is
cutlet with its antiquity but also does
not rise from any new lines with someone believing
that only the world in new york has
wall street on which the main
affairs of ours are decided
completely crazy in my opinion he did
the world so by the way in riga there is
wall street and we have our own wall street and
it’s cooler and in general it’s good as
they say
[music]
in the time that has passed
since the declaration of independence of
Latvia, the
old city is very much measured and
some not quite twin
presentable described
more coolly could have expressed the places they
suddenly acquired some new
trend, a new
sound, even charm
without, on the contrary, the transformation of these former
not presentable for example, passage
yards, a
significant role
was played by the so-called Russian business, we
are in a passage courtyard
where it was scary to go in the evening now,
well, now 200 continues for quite a long time
from quite cozy, there
are residential apartments, well, right
up to please, these are the forms of
massage, it’s
not clear what say that's life,
let's move on
and
[music]
here friends are the very center of the business
old before their income bank
hotel against some of them I
feel very tense now
times have changed something
here is tense so
never a relatively recently
prosperous
hotel owner from the Eldar she is now
feels
difficult and not for everyone
except banks,
once upon a time the
first truly
international bank of Latvia appeared here,
I can tell you the secrets that I
also had an
account there, a safe deposit
box,
I managed to get rid of it quite quickly,
now it’s only freer, but it was a movie,
look for details here interested
in the number of
luxury cars
from different manufacturers in general,
our city can give a head start to many, we wo
n’t let it all show there are a
lot of it coming in, very many of these cars are
all citizens of the world not at
all not only here’s the video we’ll go
further progress art
module on behind me ours from the temple everything
this is our everything, a
monument to freedom
[music]
interesting it sounds
further the
central highway found the city
streets brivibas
anybody
we'll go to the old city
I honestly haven't been there for a long time
somehow I'm too busy now let's see what's
happening
[music]
there
[music]
and
here to friends
under this brand there is
an exit to the courtyard where we are completely our
candle is amazing the best allegro coffee in the world
and
how much was there
in a separate story the
first
real
jazz
festivals took place here the evenings for the first time the
first official concert of the Riga
club took place here
original songs were played here
once upon a time amateur songs here
singing who they play on an umbrella you
were able to repeatedly
participate in all this here in addition to jazz, with
this place connected a significantly honest
creative life the
guests were a very friendly team of
staff of this cafe
shores who only came
similar 100 grams then 90
prominent personalities in the modern
show business
has made some progress
now here of course
something is not at all clear
a bit of a pity but
let the regrets remain passed by
Anatoly where
among friends this is also a famous square
very cool a
lot of interesting things
from a unique such a creative entrance to the
territory of the Stafford center there is
always something interesting going on
karaoke all street musicians hello
over the edge all the way
[music]
with friends behind me
Vladimir street this composer left
his indelible creative mark on the
history of the creative river
there is a Wagner hall now
one of the chamber rooms is being installed which
will give them to the children was considered quite decent a
lot of things done here
[music]
there was
[music]
but friends, such an interesting establishment is
openly touching and from behind it is very interesting
because
and such a symbol
of certain trends in rock and roll in
cables, why is this interesting here?
For me personally, the rockabilly style is
primarily associated with a person with whom I not
only knew whom we did the first
rock concerts 23 but also with whom I was friends and for
example helped a lot in his time with
access to certain information
avoir un
this is Pete Anderson and so long ago he left
our world an
amazing person
he did not remain a
symbol of the true faith his calling a
person who was ready to defend
his calling no
matter what the Soviet wife and
there were concerts
in the rock club with knives that
took place under such tense circumstances, I would say,
there were cases when no one had to take
responsibility, I understand that Pete,
despite all the requests
of art critics in civilian clothes, will not sing
rock and roll and in Latvian he will
sing in in English in the original and in the fact
that he has his own song
with which he then
made a real name for himself, then he
showed himself very well
traveling around the states when this became
possible and returned back smooth to the
real
heroes of the rockabilly style who are interested in
what it is, listen to this very
cheerful you carpet is always so
incendiary and with meaning,
it’s not in the sense that the organ of firewood is without
meaning, but Pete’s songs were
stacking with a very interesting flavor of what was
sewn in Latvian under this, he was
interesting to the Americans, and for us he is dear to us for this,
so let her it will be good there but
when we meet here I thought that
they played a stranger to me but for now here is such a symbol
for the cables
[music]
but friends what an interesting situation
I was looking for
specific synchronism right opposite this
we cut off everything beautifully the symbol of everything is
connected words cables entrance to the Riga
Russian Theater named after Mikhail Chekhov
with a huge tradition with great
tires throughout his life, with a name for the whole
world and
he continues to work here, continues to
stage good performances to which
not only the Russian public comes,
so keep in mind here everything is very
closely connected and one more small nuance
once on stage the Riga theater
Russian di2 the rock concert did not take place,
everything was stopped at the last minute
by an order from somewhere at the top,
but if it had taken place, I assure you
it would have been something because I
planned to perform at that concert and pete
angles here what
interesting events happened here and
we are going dex
under the node people have their own black magic
I assure you it is not dangerous it is very
tasty here the main thing is to know the measure you
can get poisoned by anything but
our black magic is the last thing
you will be here come in there you will like it
[music]
so friends we are in the apple of the eye of the
old city, the
town hall square
is here, you just looked at
our
city parliament, these are the shells
behind me, the most famous image of the
central part of all this is
clogged with a resistor house, a black eye, and
then
right now I hear the ringing
of a bell, today Riga celebrates
its next birthday,
coincidentally so that today
that day of God is happening and why
were the celebrations the
celebrations and
louder and
larger-scale husband how to get it so
it turns out the city today everyone is like this
somehow because of this tea
[music]
yes friends that’s what it means I
haven’t been to the old city for a long time of this place,
the direction where the spire is visible,
there was a beautiful view of the Church of
St. Peter
with which I am also connected with a lot of
different things,
I still remembered the fish in the
elementary grades of school before, instead of this
church with a spire, a
gloomy ruin for this to remember and
then I will remind you that all of this moved and
was restored as this church began
to live its own special life
and from the moment when this building finally
acquired a
very important meaning,
historical,
creative, even in some sense,
philosophical, all of this was headed by Marianna
Ozolinya,
what was the name of the staff of the church, you are the mother of
this, it’s very interesting
now the back leg has a different status,
there are no longer those workers who ensured the
uninterrupted operation
of this most interesting historical
object and
not only will it remain with me as an
object
of interest or memory because at the very
beginning of the eighties
81 for many years we were
caretakers of the elevator that delivers
tourists to our new friend
Vitalik with whom, among other things, we
worked together in the same group while
away
in order to periodically prepare for an
important exam, the
gym was always available to me,
imagine doing this very thing
there right in St. Peter’s Church
when everyone left when the church
closed there was
enough space and what they didn’t
do except kumite of course, so
honing
one’s skills in what There was still no
skill in this type of hand-to-hand
interaction with a friend, I owe it to the church of
St. Peter and the
unspoken kind of
patronage towards
this mommy,
mommy knew that this was happening,
she knew everything but was calm about
this kind of phenomenon, not
least because when we finish
training here, I picked up a guitar
and
gave an hour-long concert of the acoustics of this
beautiful building, I’ll tell you, I’ve
never heard such acoustics anywhere else, there are people from real
acoustic technology,
sound engineers, and they think, as an example, that
on the site there are several on the first
level
sound marks such characteristics that are not there
famous ladies' church they are not
only we will come
so I could say I'm a lucky
man I didn't manage to at least
play in this amazing
acoustic hall
that's what for me including
St. Peter's Church let's go through
[music]
here it is friends, St. Peter's Church, a
church built with the money of the citizens of
Riga,
there is still a lot that can be said about this
wonderful moment of the gene of architecture from the
early Middle Ages,
here we have, among other things, the
very center of the city of Riga,
now
let's rent this place and you will understand that I'm not
kidding
others
[ music]
with friends we go inside and make sure
that the glue is the
real absolutely official center of the
city of Riga for
here in the ground I left it in the center of the form
you will be here be sure to put a
very special energy here
I assure you many are hanging around all over
the world and became
guys you wait here
[music]
especially when there is a mason road,
everyone compare today to church we
won’t go there too much that I
want to say, can we say it again
sometime when the tourist apple is less when
we can tell you more then
now
I’m standing here I’m
leaving forest sensations
[music]
contact, that’s why
I’ll tell you with whom
[music]
[applause]
[music] it’s
not
like this, guys, you can’t sin,
you won’t get anointed and everything is nearby
[music]
half of the most interesting ritual is happening now,
this is our monument to the Bremen
musicians,
it’s easy to subtract if you rub
all these four characters have their noses in their hands and
you will be lucky to reach the rooster, so today I’m just
rubbing here a little, I won’t be so happy
to communicate with friends of our channel and
tell them about what is somehow
connected with those episodes in my
life here so It’s not very pleasant that
I can tell you about all this today;
tired; no one was there;
let people
enjoy it as much as possible; I really hope
that they will definitely be part of
[music]
and here we are, friends, at the
convention site; courtyard of the
medieval convention; the entrance is right on the
back side St.
Peter's Church, which we just met
with the Bremen musicians,
here is one of the most favorite places of
our fraternal creative union of
all divisions of the 70s,
the most interesting creative events were held here,
in which
representatives of various directions of
our local art took part,
including rock music and art songs
I had a lot of time here
to play live in the fresh air and right
against the backdrop of this
medieval center,
which fortunately has been preserved here, so
I also have very warm memories with this place
and some
associations
[music]
for free,
not a single normal city in the world can’t
get by from Russian cuisine, especially
old original recipes of Russian
cuisine, but also everything is fine, there is somewhere
to eat and go, even today, we won’t
stop here, we won’t go any further, I
remember that
[music]
yes, friends, this is a hint that we
are approaching a very interesting place
in Baker Street
[music]
in general Aniston I’ll say
let
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
write about what such a request
we will believe in our own but the main events they
happened here here guys here here is
the road from the hangar Dicks about it gave the water
in the hand gave there damp here is the command
what is the inscription in memory, all the events
took place here,
the best in the world,
Sholokhov MTS, as you know, this is the
same one played by a
Soviet actor named Ivanov,
so this is the most important thing in the life of a
wonderful detective, talented in all
respects, including
in the sense of
understanding tobacco and fruit
[music]
[applause]
[music]
here, friends, is a
wonderful view of the building of a large people
with Warren and so called the guild or
philharmonic
where amazing events also took place
that I had to
participate in a
voice concert on the stage of this beautiful
place
there was a hodgepodge team including non-
country performers. you live on this
event for everyone
who grows up to its organizers who
then had to have
an art critic in civilian clothes explain everything
that happened there, just
got away with it, but in
general this is one of our most important
places where real top-class musicians come,
modern classical music,
real classical music in general there is a
lot going on here, and
there is a cat on the corner,
this is the
current Parisian Amber Museum, and
in our time this
was an establishment where we went with bated
breath
with this hope of
finally seeing such a coveted
instrument, this was the main and, in fact,
the only sensible
store of musical instruments
for all genres here I
bought my first acoustic guitars,
beads
produced by the GDR department, to buy
here the guys and I had to wait in line at night,
sometimes I succeeded twice, I was
unlucky,
I remember this
with a warm feeling with a feeling of slight
cold because then we stood in
line here in December it was a little cold in the month,
but art requires sacrifice,
so for me this place is also
in the sense of a cult, a lot of things were
put on the altar here,
in which there weren’t dozens of us, we considered it
high art, and we’re even going
[music]
and friends,
quietly, calmly, unnoticed, we went out to the blue
mist of you and
gave episodes of this
very series 17 moments of spring were filmed here,
interesting and tragic events took place here,
including in the life of
Professor Pleischner, and we will now take a closer look
[music]
but friends, that very house
from the window of which the
tragic professor fell, the woman it
was there
on the second floor and
in those days this building before Perm was also an
earthly restaurant
that many tried to get into and the
beer restaurant was called he son called
under the oak tree
some like this you came out of it in such a state and
we were on the opposite side of another
very interesting object
that in those days the restaurant was called
twain and it was a breeze to get here,
I’ll tell you, it’s
not at all easy to get there, there was always a very
long line,
but it was worth it, the cuisine there was simply
amazing and most importantly
the dessert, and they offered that same
legendary
cake from the time that
factory 17 produced June,
this is a miracle, a miracle, friends, she is unique,
it’s better not to remember about it, that you
will have to urgently go somewhere and
get some food, and
on the opposite side of the house from
which you fell out, there is a
stunning courtyard,
some shots from the
same series were filmed here, it has come to an end
[music]
mary secret
and where I am now the inscription weight did not
want justus
your school's
Alexa the
whole entrance was located and to the gallery it
was also a cult place
in those days they showed what we don’t
show anywhere there were
interesting people, we
met creative personalities and
whose work was so soft
discussion in society at that time it
was also quite difficult to get there in the
90s of the last
century there was once again a
cinema gallery on the floor where
all sorts of very
difficult films were also shown where there were
exhibitions of different
artists and other masters that fit well into the general situation something
to do so that we are standing here with you in a
cult place in every sense, here you
and Baker Street are here for you and the blemish route is
not enough just for
Maksimovich Isaev to come out from somewhere, what is this in
German, he told us
anything can happen, but for now we’ll go on our own
to the center this is the penultimate place of our
journey today
[music]
[applause]
[music]
you are friends behind my back
what is most often called incorrectly
the Dome Cathedral forgive me please
this is oil oil chambers there are no tons
allegorically the house is a cathedral therefore the
correct name is the Ladies Cathedral
Church of St. Mary
remember and when you are in Riga
show your intelligence and your memory I
think that many will be pleased and
I can tell you a lot about this church
that I knew people who
worked there for decades right from the end of the
Second World War and was familiar with the master
tuner of the Riga Dome organa
denying personality,
by the way, this is the person who
really introduced me to the
acoustics of St. Peter’s Church, he
told me how it works there and
this is the monument we have, this is the calling
card of Riga, let’s say, at least
one of the main recognizable objects, and
opposite this
cult object is the entrance to the building of our
state radio and with this place
I also have very very warm
associations of memories here in
1978 the
first recording in my life took place
for a radio program hosted by
Tatyana Sanders, this is a
Russian singer who gave birth to the Russian service
a whole block of broadcasts to you is the name of
Domskaya Square we are with you are in the
same sky square, two tests of 88,
by God, don’t remember how many times I was there,
recorded, gave interviews,
discussed a lot of things and even played
something live once on the air, they
even recorded it, it was a radio broadcast, a
recording from 2011, it was dedicated to
celebrating Christmas
these are the things, friends,
so I have become
everywhere you look, I have the type of lei shi and
memories of our city and its
glorious cult historical sites
and I can tell you a lot and I can tell you a lot for
today, we only have one object left and we will
definitely go there, I
will say something and on this is definitely completed for today
because
you know, as Winnie the Pooh would say,
but
[music]
fotolia behind me is the entrance to that very
Philharmonic
where I once took the exam for the
right to be called a professional
performer of my own songs with
concerts and so on here I took the
exam in the Riga country concert
association and received a registration card
as a
professional in his field, and here every
later
I met such
amazing people as tommy emmanuel
dominic miller
greg carmichael acoustician like that and many more
with whom and the warmest wonderful conversations
doks +
coffee with cake and other thousands mention,
well, I already said that somehow I
had to perch myself on
the stage to perform, which we won’t do, but
on the contrary, it’s also a very interesting building,
if this is a large genji, then this is a
small guild in Soviet times, it was a
house of culture of trade unions and
tell us about very beautiful
interiors, there are amazing stained glass windows and
I don’t know, you can go there for an hour and look
at it, it will come back someday, we’ll try it very
beautifully, and with this building, I also have a
lot of interesting memories and
filming of 20 vision of their programs where I
had to pretend to be such a
philosopher, it’s just a long beard,
long hair you know how to talk about
what given topics here you and the person in
the frame there
were concerts here there was an
absolutely amazing concert and
singer-songwriters
when he called amateur songs here the
guys from dominoes played here the spirit of the
singing wigwam reigned
here I sang my amateur songs
here they passed small-small
concerts of our then
early 80s country folk music, in
total, a thousand of us
and the most important thing is that all this is always with
the opportunity to
go to a cafe at a large philharmonic or
come down here and have a
proper meal our journey is
over today, I really hope that you
someday we'll come here again,
believe me, I don't often choose the old
city very rarely and
[music]
something else, what kind of thread are the objects with
which I am connected, even
my very early school biography there, it's
just
presidential affairs, know everything next
time and while we go to refresh ourselves and good health to you all, an
absolute pleasant disposition,
may everything work out and
may success accompany you in
everything that is filled with the light of your
heart and warmed by the warmth of your soul until we
meet again
[music]
